Dubai Chambers has announced the formation of the Executive Committee for Agentic AI. The move follows the recent launch of an initiative by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, aimed at transitioning Dubai’s private sector towards Agentic AI.

The committee held its first meeting online recently, which was chaired by Eng. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers and Chairman of the executive committee, in the presence of Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, Chairman of Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, and Vice Chairman of the executive committee.

Eng. Al Mansoori said, “We are committed to strengthening Dubai’s global leadership, enhancing the competitiveness of the private sector, and ensuring businesses are ready for rapid technological change. The transition towards Agentic AI reflects Dubai’s proactive approach to adopting advanced technologies that support a more resilient, sustainable, and innovative economy. By enabling companies to benefit from smart solutions, the programme will enhance operational and administrative capabilities, boost productivity, and unlock new opportunities for growth in future-facing economic sectors.”

He added, “The committee is building an integrated framework to support the implementation of the initiative. This includes specialised training tracks for Business Councils and Business Groups operating under Dubai Chamber of Commerce, incubators for Agentic AI companies, and cooperation with public and private sector partners to accelerate digital transformation across key economic sectors and the wider business community in Dubai.”

Al Olama stated that under the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai is continuing to strengthen its position as a global hub for shaping the future by adopting transformative technologies that enhance the competitiveness of vital sectors. He further highlighted Dubai’s focus on building a new ecosystem powered by Agentic AI, reflecting a forward-looking approach to reimagining government operations, keeping pace with global advancements, and anticipating future shifts.

Al Olama added, “This transformation marks a major step toward building a knowledge and technology-driven digital economy. It will foster an intelligent, enabling environment that enhances efficiency, accelerates innovation, and supports the development of advanced AI solutions and more agile, sustainable operating models. In turn, this will strengthen the private sector’s ability to harness emerging technologies, support the growth of startups, and further cement Dubai’s role as a global hub for developing and exporting next-generation digital technologies and solutions.”

The committee will be responsible for approving the plan for specialised training tracks in Agentic AI for Business Groups and Business Councils operating under the Dubai Chamber of Commerce as part of the two-year transformation plan.

The committee’s responsibilities also include setting up dedicated support funds to assist selected companies in their transition towards Agentic AI, as well as promoting knowledge sharing and capacity building in the field of Agentic AI within Dubai Chambers.
